My name is Sheila. My parents Clyde and Marjorie were
both employed by Martin Marietta for many years. They began their careers in
1951 at the Glenn L. Martin Company in Baltimore, Maryland. They both worked in
the electronics department building the P6M SeaMaster and the P5M Marlin. In
1961, Martin Marietta opened a new plant in Orlando, Florida. My father was
transferred to Orlando that same year. My mother was rehired a couple of years
later. They both worked on the Pershing and Patriot missile programs. They both
retired and were able to enjoy many happy and healthy years together. My father
passed away in 2007 at 87 years old. My mother will turn 85 in a few months.
